Happy Birthday, Ann!
Ann Gillis, longtime Cloverdale Senior Multipurpose Center member, celebrated her 100th birthday on Sept. 8. The city of Cloverdale issued her a proclamation to commemorate her 100th birthday. The only thing that could have been sweeter is if Ann, known as Cloverdale’s “hugging grandmother,” could have given everyone a hug.

Memorial Day, May 25
PAY HOMAGE — A modest group of Cloverdalians met in Cloverdale’s cemetery Monday morning, May 25, to hold a small ceremony in memory of fallen veterans. The group primarily consisted of members of Cloverdale’s American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars groups and was held as an unofficial ceremony — the groups traditionally hold a Memorial Day ceremony at the Cloverdale Veterans Memorial Building and cemetery which draws in upwards of 100 people. This year they couldn’t hold it due to social distancing and public event protocols. Prior to the ceremony, members of the American Legion put up American flags on the headstones of veterans.
